Step 4: The Coliseum Triumph (Final Mile)
As he enters the tunnel leading into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the noise is deafening. The sun is setting, casting long, golden shadows across the track.
Abebaw hits the red synthetic surface. He feels a surge of adrenaline that clears the lactic acid from his system. He rounds the final bend, his stride lengthening, his chest swelling with the pride of his ancestors. He crosses the finish line, arms outstretched, not in defiance, but in an offering of gratitude.
